New Window Treatments!

It has been a looong time coming, but we finally have new window treatments up in our bedroom. The curtains that were up are curtains I remember from when I was a little girl and my grandparents lived here. They were OLD (at least two decades, most likely more).

The old bedroom. Old paint, old curtains, old bedding. Old, old, old. And very blue...

Well, we've painted over the blue walls and the printed paneling, we got new bedding as a wedding gift, and at long last, we have new shades.

Not the best picture... trouble with windows is they're usually back lit :)

I still plan to dress up the windows a little bit (maybe with some sheer panels?) but these are far and away better than the old curtains. They were so bad that we couldn't even open them- they would just fall off the wall if you pulled the cord! Much better.

WHAT I'M READING

I started this blog as a way for friends and family to keep in touch while I traveled abroad. Now, I hope it gives you ideas to try for crafts, food, home, and garden. I love to dabble, and I try not to buy when I can DIY!
